Affirmative action and DEI were supposed to open the doors to opportunity for marginalized people. […]

IntroOk kinfolks—it’s time for me to put another target on my back. I’ve spent the last several months digging into something I had a gut feeling about. It started off with a question.

Friendship should feel like a mutual exchange of support, laughter, and growth—not a damn trap disguised as generosity. But let’s talk about a certain type of woman. You’ve seen her. You might even know her. Hell, you might be her unwitting accessory right now. She’s that woman who keeps a specific kind of friend around—the […]

There’s no way to soften this truth: we failed our young Black girls. Not in an abstract, “society is messed up” kind of way. No, we failed them directly, personally, and collectively. We failed them when we laughed at their suffering. When we made light of a grown man urinating on a 14-year-old girl. When […]
